This dress is perfect for your homecoming event. To wear it, simply step into the bottom piece and then put on the top. It's a two - piece set, so you can adjust it to fit you comfortably. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to hand - wash it in cold water to keep the fabric and the pearls in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the delicate chiffon. If you've ordered a custom - sized dress, please double - check your measurements before sending them to us to ensure a perfect fit. Also, keep in mind the processing and shipping times when planning your event.
